Microstation Connect Mac



Written by: Rod Wing

  1. Launch MicroStation CONNECT Edition. An inadequate response of antiviruses to a patch is possible (as usual, to such files). To convince anyone that there is nothing there, I will not, this is a waste of time. Proceed as you see fit. If there are other methods of treatment, inform the drugs. Year of issue: 2020 Version: 10.15.00.074.
  2. MicroStation is the only CAD platform your team will ever need!
  3. There is no Mac-native version of MicroStation. But you can run MicroStation on a Mac by running Windows on a Mac; this can be done with Boot Camp or with a virtualization solution such as VMWare Fusion or Parallels. I actually talked about running MicroStation on a Mac in my blog. If you want more info than that, feel free to contact me.
  4. Train users on MicroStation CONNECT Edition and employ CONNECT Advisor for continuous learning and reinforcement. There are extensive materials for 'train the trainer' to help you effectively train your team as well as OnDemand and live distance learning to ensure that your users and CAD support team can quickly become productive using MicroStation CONNECT Edition.

The MicroStation family of products provides traditional CAD capabilities and the power and versatility to precisely view, model, document, and visualize information-rich 2D and 3D designs of all types and scales, working for professionals in every discipline on infrastructure projects of every type.

As you probably know MicroStation CONNECT employs a ribbon style interface similar to Microsoft Office and AutoCAD.

We recommend that you get comfortable with using this interface as it is where the new tools and functionality are to be found.

However, if you absolutely cannot bring yourself to work with the ribbon fear not. You can restore the Tasks Dialog interface:

1. In MicroStation CONNECT select File > Settings > Configuration Variables

2. Set the MS_TASKNAVIGATION_CONFIGURATION variable = 1
(Create a new variable if this has not been defined)

3. Exit MicroStation and restart.
